Step 2: If you don't have an existing XLS form with the correct formatting, "Click here to download the formatted XLSX file for the proper Upload" on the Import page will give you the spreadsheet you need. Do NOT edit the column headings, even if you don’t use the optional columns, they must be in the spreadsheet for proper import.

Ensure you double-check your import settings in the bottom left-hand corner for creating App & Dashboard users, if required.
